It is the end of a long day and my arms are loaded down with groceries, a laptop, giant purse, a Hello Kitty backpack and a feisty five year old. After dropping the keys twice, I finally open the front door and immediately plop everything down on the kitchen table. Sorting through the junk mail, bills and numerous catalogues I spot it ~ like a sparkling diamond. A beautiful pale blue, glittery envelope that is addressed to me and inside is a lovely note from one of my girlfriends. In today's high tech world to open my {real} mailbox and find such a delightful treat has become a rare occurrence. So, maybe next time instead of emailing, posting on facebook, tweeting or texting, I will take a cue from my dear friend and send a lovely little note instead. {Hmmmm, when was the last time I bought stamps?}
